Refer A Friend

The Refer A Friend program is the reward system Riot Games created to motivate players to recruit friends to the game. On 25 April 2012, Refer A Friend 2.0 was released.[1]

Referrals can be accumulated by sending out an email using the form on the referrals page, or with your account's personalized referral link. Referrals will be accepted from both EU and US; it does not matter which server they sign up with.

Past Versions

Original version

Every time someone that you have referred reaches summoner level 5, the player that invited him is eligible for a reward. Every friend that reaches level 5 will let you a 4-win IP boost that you can redeem whenever you want. In addition, every time you reach one of the following reward tiers, you will receive a unique reward.

10,000 – All expenses paid trip to visit Riot Games and develop a champion with the Riot Design Team (the expenses may not exceed $5,000)

Tim Buckley lost his chance to design a champion after suggesting an eccentric Spider-Shark champion based on the Japanese horror manga, Gyo. Because the theme didn't fit with the lore, he only visited Riot Games HQ.

Version 2.0

Players earn 250 each time a referral reaches level 5 and milestone rewards as they reach level 10. Milestone rewards are one time only prizes unless otherwise noted, and are unlocked once the appropriate number of level 10 referrals is obtained.
